Cubs whack nine homers, win 17-3 in a game to forget

The Cubs dominated the Brewers 17-3, hitting nine home runs for a franchise record. Cubs starter Clay Holmes was effective early while Brewers pitcher Kyle Harrison struggled with control, allowing back-to-back homers to Tyrone Taylor and Nico Hoerner in the first inning and surrendering eight runs before being pulled with two outs in the fourth. The Brewers mounted little offensive resistance throughout the game, with their position player Andrew Vaughn taking the mound in the seventh inning as the deficit became insurmountable.
